This is a note of support for the position of the Free Software
Foundation regarding patents and the internet.
The basic foundations of the internet should be fee of
restrictions like patents, or anything that gives ownership
to one company. People should have the right to make
proprietary software, but they should have the right to make
free (speech, not beer) software also. That software should
rest on top of a foundation that is free (beer, not speech) for
all to use.
